Hi again,

Please read the owner's manual of the seat again.  I believe that you will
find that the seat does go to 60 lbs., but the 5 point harness is only
rated for 40 lbs!  Therefore, for the time between 40 and 60 lbs., you have
to remove the 5 point harness and use the seat as a Belt Positioning
Booster which requires a real vehicle 3 point shoulder belt in the back
seat.  Even if you have a rear shoulder belt system, it also requires the
child to be mature enough to not remove the vehicle belt or fidget so much
that it is improperly placed while travelling.

Thanks,
Michael
